Hartford : 1824, 262,) mentioned it, inciilentally, giving the personal command to General Lee ; Kamsjiy, in his Life of George Washington, (Sixth edition, 46,) did no more than to aisually allude to the entire series of afl'aiis, without particularly mentioning either of them ; Dunlap, in his History of Xew York, (ii., 80,) did the same, honorably mentioning all, without selecting either, for special praise ; Lossing, in his Pictitrial Field-book of the Revolution, (original edition, li.. 820,) found room for no more than two lines of description of this gallant affair, which was a part of his subject: although he had devoted eight pages to Christopher Columbus and fourteen to Sir Walter Raleigh, Captain John Smith, and Pocahontiis, which, certainly, had no connection with that pubject, the American Revolution ; and, in those two lines, he committed a singularly important error ; Irving, in his Life of George Wtuhington, (Edit. 1856, ii., 385, 386,) gave an excellent little notice of it ; Bancroft, in his History of the Uniltd Stales, (original edition, ix., 177, and in tJiesame, centenary edition, v., 441,) while he had been singularly profuse in what had no bearing whatever on the history of the United States, dismissed the subject in less than four lines ; Dawson, in his Battles of the L'nited Stales, (i., 177,) made only an incidental allusion to it, instead of appropriating a Chapter of his work to that special subject, as he should have done ; Colonel Carrington, in his Rattles of the American Revolution, (23.5,) made honorable mention of the affair ; the local historian, Bolton, in his History of Wtslcheslercounly, (original edition; i., 1.53, and in the same tcork, second edition, i., 245,) probably alluded to this engagement, when in each instance, he devoted two lines and a half to the subject, in the course of which, however, in each instance, the reader was gravely informed that the Koyal Army was, at that time, "under Lord Howe," the Admiral commanding the Fleet.
